The 24 pages that link to Phosphorus, each with the reason it gives.

• FertilizerRelated: It is a major fertilizer nutrient, commonly supplied in phosphate forms.

• PhosphateNarrower topic: Phosphate’s central atom is phosphorus.

• ArsenicCompared with: Arsenate resembles phosphate, but arsenic compounds disrupt processes that phosphorus normally supports.

• PhosphorCompared with: Despite the shared name, elemental phosphorus is not what defines a phosphor.

• Phosphorus pentoxideNarrower topic: Phosphorus pentoxide is an oxide of this element in its +5 oxidation state.

• GuanoRelated: Guano supplies phosphorus compounds needed for plant development.

• ApatiteRelated: Apatite deposits are the principal mineral source of phosphorus.

• Pig ironRelated: It is an impurity in some pig irons and can make resulting steel brittle.

• White phosphorusNarrower topic: White phosphorus is an elemental form of phosphorus, not a phosphorus compound.

• Phosphorous acidNarrower topic: The element’s bonding and oxidation states define this acid’s distinctive chemistry.

• Phosphorus trichlorideNarrower topic: The central atom determines PCl₃'s bonding and phosphorus(III) chemistry.

• Phosphorus pentachlorideRelated: Phosphorus is the central atom bonded to five chlorine atoms in PCl₅.

• Phosphorus oxyacidsNarrower topic: Its bonding patterns determine the structures of every phosphorus oxyacid.

• Hypophosphorous acidNarrower topic: The element’s bonding and oxidation states underpin the acid’s structure and reactivity.

• Carbon-based lifeRelated: Its phosphate groups connect genetic material, membranes, and cellular energy transfer.

• PhosphineNarrower topic: Phosphine’s central atom is phosphorus, whose bonding permits three substituents and a lone pair.

• Allotropes of phosphorusNarrower topic: The allotropes are structures of this element, not different compounds.

• Diammonium phosphateRelated: The phosphate component supplies phosphorus needed for plant growth.

• Lycopodium powderCompared with: Historical accounts sometimes associate phosphorus with flame effects, but it is not the source of lycopodium’s flame.

• Pyrophosphoric acidNarrower topic: Its oxidation state and bonding define the acid’s inorganic structure.

• Phosphorus trioxideNarrower topic: Its bonding and oxidation chemistry underpin the structure and reactivity of P₄O₆.

• Phytic acidRelated: Phytic acid is a major way plants store phosphorus in seeds.

• Aluminium phosphideRelated: Phosphorus supplies the element that forms phosphine when AlP encounters moisture.

• Pnictogen hydrideRelated: Its hydride phosphine contrasts with ammonia in stability and basicity.
